Maraxus\' Modding questions
 

Hi. I know the spell modding is still quite limited, but could it be possible, to create a ritual, that:
-either effects all units in the world,
-or even better, triggers an effect at the start of every battle?

Re: Modding question (Rituals effecting units)
 

Uh, effect 10081 is damn interesting. I've checked some damage values that are not normally used.

Damage:
11: Every combat, every turn, every unit has a chance of being damaged. All units loose their armor in the first battle.
12: Every combat, every turn, there is a battlefield-wide fear effect.
13: First round every unit able to go berserk does so (nice!)

Edith sais: Ah, these are the 81er effects ritualised.

Edit3: Ah, I just checked "growing fury. Interesting. Me likes!

Maraxus - do you mind if I incorporate those results into my spell modding guide?

Anyway, if you go to that thread, there's a list of all the enchantment codes, some of which do damage.

There is not, AFAIK, any code to generate a user-designated effect at the start of each battle. I requested such a system in the modders wishlist, but the odds of it being implemented are somewhat remote.

Well, it's just, that I found out "Hey, you can make 10081ers out of 81ers". http://forum.shrapnelgames.com/images/smilies/happy.gif

Spell-modding is really tough. Now, that I have found this really nice 10081+13, I'd like to aply the effect to all units, normally it's just friendly units.
I guess, the #spec command could work but I can't find out, how.
I've tired 262144, which should be "only vs hostiles" (plan would be to give it 2 effects, one for the hostiles, one for the friends to make it effect everybody) but it seams not to work.

Okay, aaaand another one:

Spells have those "Secondary effects". Like a summoned commander with his guys and Vine arrow also entangling after damage.

...How does one mod this?

Re: Modding question (Rituals effecting units)
 

You can't, it's a big limitation.

Actually you might be able to do the entangling bit.

Next one...
 

The modding manual sais, you can use the numbers 67 to 79 to create new nations without overwriting existing ones.

I have now tried 67 and 68 and in both cases I seam to start from other nations:
This is, when using 67 I start as Ryleth...something.
#clearnation, #clearrec and #clearsites
fixes most of this, but the nations still has Ryleth national Pretender (at least the Amphebean one) and more problematic, Ryleth national spells.
Am I doing something wrong, or is it just, that I need to find a "blank nation" in 67-79 that has no national spells?

Re: Modding question (Rituals effecting units)
 

Where can we find the spell modding guide and other useful modding guides?
I've been working on a new nation for several months and looking to improve the final results by learning a few skills from the experts.
Thanks!

You should use nation slots 70-79 really, because Lanka and Eriu and Tuatha are taking up some slots now.

Re: Next one...
 

actually, can you ritualise any effect number? Ie, could you ritualise for example howl? That could be VERY weird.
